Question
I would like to confirm my understanding regarding the products on the Bescents website:
- Are the items listed under A-Z and Blend fragrances, and the items under Natural essential oils?
- Is it correct that fragrances only provide scent and no nourishment, while essential oils provide both scent and nourishment?
Answer
Based on the information provided:
- On the Bescents website, the categories A-Z and Blend are indeed fragrances, and the Natural category contains essential oils. Other categories might contain a mix of chemical fragrance molecules and essential oils, or solely chemical fragrance molecules.
- Your understanding of their properties is correct: Fragrances primarily provide scent only and do not offer nourishing benefits. Essential oils, on the other hand, provide both scent and potential nourishing benefits.
- Additionally, natural essential oils are known for a more complete scent profile but can be more expensive. Expensive fragrances often include essential oils to enhance their natural scent complexity.
